Customizing Your Gift Exchange
Last updated August 14, 2024
Elfster offers a range of options to customize your gift exchange and tailor it to your group's preferences. This ensures your exchange is unique, fun, and fits perfectly with the occasion.
Ways to Customize Your Gift Exchange:
- Exchange Type: Select from a variety of exchange types, including:
- Secret Santa: The classic gift exchange where each participant is assigned a giftee, but no one knows who is assigned to them.
- White Elephant: Participants exchange wrapped gifts, with each person having the option to "steal" a previously opened gift.
- Yankee Swap: Similar to White Elephant, but gifts are stolen in rounds, with participants choosing which gift they want to steal.
- Custom Exchange: Create your own unique set of rules for a truly personalized experience.
- Gift Exchange Rules: Set rules to guide the gift exchange:
- Price Limits: Establish a maximum price for the gifts.
- Gift Themes: Choose a theme for gifts (e.g., "funny gag gifts", "holiday movies," or "homemade treats").
- Gift Exchange Settings: Adjust the overall settings for your exchange:
- Participant Limit: Set a maximum number of participants.
- Deadlines: Set deadlines for participants to add gifts to their wish lists, and for the gift exchange itself.
- Communication: Decide on the preferred ways to communicate with participants (email, text message, or both).
- Appearance and Style: Add a personal touch with:
- Exchange Name: Choose a creative and descriptive name for your exchange.
- Cover Photo: Upload a photo or image that reflects the theme of your exchange.
